• Capricorns crowned top cheating star sign
• Sagittarius’ are the most faithful
• 14% of adulterers are cheating on a Leo
• Data released by the UK’s top extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com
Could cheating be written in the stars? IllicitEncounters.com analysed data of 180,000 of its married members and found that the zodiac may have a lot to say about infidelity.
Capricorns topped the charts with 16% of cheaters belonging to this star sign, closely followed by Libra’s with 13%.
Want your partner to remain faithful? Dating a Sagittarius secures monogamy with only 4% of archers currently cheating on their partner.
Other star signs less likely to cheat are Aquarius (5%) and Pieces (5%)
2000 members were also asked what star sign their spouse was, and a phenomenal 14% reported that their married to a Leo.
Natasha a Capricorn currently using the site said “I’d had it up to here with my husband last year. You see, my birthday is on the 24th of December, and my husband plans me a rubbish – buy one get one free Christmas slash birthday gift – every, single, year! What a way to make you feel appreciated.
I decided enough was enough, and as an extra special birthday treat to myself – I decided to have an affair. Heck, best decision I’ve ever made, and guess what, the other guy I’m seeing has already promised me a birthday out of this world, and that’s alongside my Christmas present. For once I’m looking forward to the winter break.”
Jennifer a Libra on the site who is currently having an affair said “My husband is a Leo. In many ways he’s the perfect partner, father and provider. He’s always working hard, he’s great with the kids and he does put in effort into our relationship. Having said that, he drives me completely and utterly insane half the time, he’s a perfectionist, can’t let things go and often obsesses. Sometimes it’s nice to just escape from him, away from everything serious and just let my hair down and have fun.”
Jessica spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com adds “Capricorns are earth signs who are extremely practical. When a Capricorn is in a marriage that is not making them entirely happy their solution is to go seek that happiness elsewhere. Being practical, Capricorns are more than capable of compartmentalising their affair and are great at keeping secrets and are therefore unlikely to get caught cheating.
Sagittarius’ belong to the fire element, and they are fiercely independent, which may come as a shock that so few Sagittarius’ are unfaithful. Although known to be adventures, risky and sociable, once a Sagittarius makes a commitment, they stick to it. A Sagittarius is always on the search for sex, love and relationships, however they are more inclined to escape an unhappy marriage, than look for some extra-marital fun; multi-dating is not their forte.
Why are Leo’s everywhere being cheated on – isn’t it obvious? Leo’s are passionate star signs, very competitive and ambitious, and naturally extremely stubborn. When your partner always wants to get their own way, it’s only natural that you need to get yours too, elsewhere.”
